 # Changelog
 
 ## 1.0.0
+
 * Public release
 
 ## 1.0.1 (Patches for Pytorch 2.0.0)
+
 * added `grad.setter` to `PseudoParameterModule` class
+
+## 1.0.2
+
+* Bugfix: removed  `graph` from `Layer` class
+    * `graph` was causing issues with nested `Model` objects
+    * Now `_use_autograd_graph` is directly set while compiling the `Model` object
